Tasting Notes

Tasting notes
Vinfolio, Sep 2024

The 2020 Los Parientes Pinot Noir is in a lovely spot right now – sharing the supple texture of its Chardonnay sibling. It is beautifully elegant, with tealeaf aromatics, gentle spice and crunchy berry fruit. Structurally, it is fine-boned – the fine, chalky tannins adding a graceful outline to the mouth-watering fruit. Gloriously fresh, the finish is saline with the slightest hint of smoke. Dangerously drinkable and incredible value, from one of Chile’s most talented winemakers.

Vinfolio, Sep 2022

The 2020 is noticeably richer and full-bodied compared to the lighter-styled 2019. The whole-bunch, grilled, herbal, stemmy tones again add complexity but seem better integrated and balanced with the rich blackberry and plum fruit. Despite having a higher percentage of whole-bunch than in 2019, the vintage’s riper fruit and tannins are better able to balance out the additional complexity.

Vinfolio, May 2021

A super intense, translucent purple colour, the Pinot has distinct herbal and bay leaf aromas interspersed with hibiscus and rosehip floral notes. The palate is very fruity with red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry dominating. Just under a third is whole-bunch fermented, giving a more vinous structure and adding a savoury, pepper spice complexity.

This is ripe and aromatic with sweet floral cherry fruit, and then sweet fruit on the palate, but there’s a combination of sweet ripe fruit but also lovely freshness. There’s a nice silky mid-palate with a hint of cured meat and lovely flesh. It’s all about the exuberant fruit.

Salted dark plums and roses, together with some dried herbs, white pepper and wax-berries. Very characterful. A juicy, full-bodied pinot with some vertical tannins. Firm, but polished. Chalky and long. Unique style. Drinkable now, but better after 2024.

The Los Parientes Pinot Noir uses three different clones - 777, 828 and GA04 - and is an impressively concentrated, deeply coloured red that demonstrates the quality of Francisco Baettig's Malleco vineyard. Fermented with 8% whole bunches, it's a structured, ferrous number with rosehip and vanilla aromas and flavours of plum, strawberry and black cherry.
